TIL if you have one Irish grandparent, you are eligible for Irish citizenship (w/ fee). You don't need to have even been to Ireland or know the first thing about the country to apply. For non-Europeans, this means you get a passport that allows you to work and live anywhere in the EU. (citizensinformation.ie)

You don't have anything to worry about. There are more Irish in the U.S. than in Ireland for a reason.

Those are Americans...

Americans identify as their ethnicity before their nationality.

Indentured servitude?

No, most Irish Americans had their ancestors come over following the Great Famine in the mid-1800s as free men.

During the years of the famine (1845-1852) there was an increase but the overwhelming majority of Irish came before and after.

4,787,580 Irish came to the United States. Now approximately 1 in 10 (33.3 million) Americans are of Irish decent. The population of Ireland is 6.5 million.

The population of Ireland is 6.5 million.

That's the population of the whole island. The population of Ireland (the country) is about 4.6 million

I believe the numbers also count Northern Ireland emigration, so it'd be disingenuous to only look at RoI.

They do because all NI citizens are entitled to Irish citizenship, but in terms of the amount of citizens living in the country vs outside the country, the 4.5m figure gives a clearer picture.

Northern Ireland only became a separate country after the partition in 1921. The vast majority of immigration to US happened when Ireland was still under complete British rule.

Also the now Republic of Ireland will give you an Irish passport even if you were born in the North as they believe "It is the entitlement and birthright of every person born in the island of Ireland, which includes it's islands and seas, to be part of the Irish nation"

When filling out a passport applications I believe that this is extended to parents/grandparents.

Source: I'm from NI but have Both a UK and Irish passport.

Love the data...but I see evidence for the after but not the before. Or did you mean in total cause either way comparing 20 years vs the rest isn't really fair.

[–]0r10z 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Wow, so Ireland pretty much emptied out.
